A hotfix for the “Jungle Storm” update of Cleared Hot is now available on Steam.

The hotfix brings over 40 fixes and improvements: mouse sensitivity no longer scales with FPS, the airstrike laser lock is twice as fast, and the drone section in “Piña Colada Strike” is much easier. Several missions, audio mixes and the mods panel were also reworked.

THANK YOU for all your thoughts + feedback on the new update! I’m happy to announce our hotfix with 40+ fixes or improvements.

Patch Notes

Helicopters

• Alligator (Ka-52) has a bit higher acceleration and higher top speed.
• Pave Low (MH-53) has a higher top speed.
• Mouse sensitivity no longer scales with FPS. You may have to reduce your sens if you have a fast machine.
• Apache: Longbow Salvo missiles can no longer hit your own helicopter under a certain missile configuration.
• Missile Select Bug: Missiles no longer get stuck firing if you change weapons while firing.
• Huey: door gunners no longer shoot through your own helicopter for targets ahead of you.
• The aim laser now turns off during cinematics.

Combat

• Player Airstrike: the laser lock is twice as fast (2s to 1s).
• Player Airstrike: adjusted timing of the jet.
• Enemy gun-jet strafing runs now do half as much damage. Your Airstrike still hits as hard as before.
• Smoke Screen now blocks the sight of enemy infantry on the ground.
• Fixed missile-lock warnings misbehaving once the missile has been fired, including after a roped MANPADS missile is released.
• BTRs have less health (6500 to 3000).
• Shilkas have less health (5000 to 3000).
• Ataka and Shturm missiles are now armor piercing

Helipads

• Trucks at helipad bases no longer spawn on top of pickups or your helicopter. They spawn at the start of the mission and change teams when you capture the helipad.
• The van and cargo truck now show up from the start as enemies and switch to your side when you capture the helipad.
• Helipads now have lights that show which side holds them.

Destruction

• More barbed wire fences can now be destroyed.

A Day at the Beach & A Boom of One’s Own

• The extraction marker now disappears as soon as you reach it, so it’s clear the objective is done.
• A Boom of One’s Own: moved a van that was clipping into a building.
• A Boom of One’s Own: updated audio mix.
• A Boom of One’s Own: fixed a music desync issue.

Fast Times at Lakeview Prison

• The objective now has a proper marker instead of only a radar blip.
• Fixed a floating light pole and other light poles around the prisons.
• Updated the look of the prison’s weak spots.

No Takesies Backsies

• Fixed a bug that could stop the beach landing from triggering.

Training Run

• Flying over the bridge is smoother. The helicopter stays above it more reliably.
• Updated audio mix.
• Fixed a music desync issue.

Get It While It’s Hot

• Fixed the ammo crate at Crater Base Three handing out the wrong ammo type.

Piña Colada Strike

• The drone section is much easier :) the drone has more health, flies faster, starts with 10 grenades, and gets twice as many grenades from crates. Grenades fly towards your crosshair and have a shorter fuse, and the rope has a longer range to grab things/enemies.
• Enemy waves in the drone section are now lighter-armed jungle fighters.
• Fixed grabbing a container launching the drone out of the map.
• Fixed the drone turning red when flying low near blood.
• Fixed the first download wave’s dialogue never playing.
• The final cruise-missile chase kills you less often.
• The “pleasure palace” now breaks apart more smoothly.
• Opened up doors around the bank, including in the basement, and cleaned up the area around the vault.
• Moved the big turrets away from the streets.
• Fixed power poles and cables, plus small city touch-ups.
• Updated audio mix.

Getaway Day

• Fixed a bug when an Airstrike hit the friendly carrier boat.
• Fixed dropping troops onto the ship sometimes killing a main character and blocking progress.

The Storm

• The submarine now surfaces on its own after a while.
• The Comanche’s Radar Cloak now works in the submarine fight.

Modding

• Added a Help button to the Mods Panel that opens the modding guide.
• The “Not Knowing Samples” mod now ships with the game.

Localization

• Translation updates.

Other Fixes

• Controller: the Boost button now shows its proper name instead of a raw text key.
• Map panning and zooming now move at the same speed at any frame rate.
